EVER CHANGING AVATARS

Ok, done.

Done.

Put up my new baby. I love it

I knew this would drive me batty until I could find one.  Thus, I picked the Batmobile!

I was having a hard time deciding....especially since Messiaen77 took my first pick.

Yeah, I'm not much of a car guy so it was either this or the classic Batmobile.

I was thinking about using KIT from Nightrider, but the car isn't really all that recognizable to most people.  I'm not really much of a car buff either.

I think quite a few would recognize KITT.

Considering that most of us here are over 40, I think that the original K.I.T.T. would be instantly recognizable.

Mine is a '67 Camaro.  Pictured is very similar to what I had.  It wasn't an SS, but it was white, with 5-spoke mags.

I was so close to getting a '69 Camaro for my first car. Sadly, someone beat me to it. I loved the paint job but the interior would need an overhaul. It was a dark odd 60's green.

Mine was white with red naugahyde, diamond tuck interior.  The interior was very nice.  Body needed a little work.  Straight 6 with a 3-speed.  Not the fastest car around, but it sure was fun!

I may have to change my avatars a few times this month. For now it is a '67 corvette.

My avatar is changed now.

I'm not sure why I love El Caminos, as they aren't very pretty to look at, especially the later ones. This one is from the early 70s, which is what I had back in 85.  Mine was a 72 and cherry red as well, but it wasn't an SS and didn't have the racing stripes. I would love to get another one, but trashed they are very expensive to restore, and restored they are very expensive to buy.

Mine is the new Mazda3 Hatchback I purchased back in April.

So who can guess what movie this car is from?

It's one of the James Bond flicks. With Roger Moore I believe. I remember seeing that as a kid and forever associating Lotus cars with cool haha. Gosh I haven't seen those movies in years but I loved them when I was young!

Oh yeah, I had the Hot Wheels version of it.  For Your Eyes Only.  I've only seen that one and Moonraker.

Nope,sorry., the Lotus in FYEO exploded at the beginning. After that, the next car, which was also Lotus, was red.

At least if you found one to restore, you could do it slowly as a project.  It would still be an expensive project, but it may be easier on the wallet to do as a project over time.

I'd love to find an old Dodge Charger or '68 Corvette in need of a restoration.  What keeps me from doing this is the fact that I have no mechanical skills.  I'd have to pay someone to restore it, and that is totally unaffordable from what I understand.  It would be about as cheap to buy a new car.

By all counts it's horrible to drive, but who cares when it looks this brilliant!

Changed my avatar too.
It's a Porsche Boxter for the rest of the month.

So what do we go for next month? My suggestion is a picture of a bird (this includes Big Bird, and can be stretched to include pterodactyls)… what are yours?

Birds can work.  We all are, as they say, birds of a feather.

Done!  A bit early, but hey I'm usually late to the party when it comes to changing avatars so I thought I'd kick the ball off before anyone else!
